It’s that time of year again, time to kick off
the Holiday Season. One of my family’s favourite ways to celebrate the start of
Holiday season is to attend the Chronicle Herald Holiday Parade of Lights in
Downtown Halifax.

Close to 100,000 spectators will line the streets of Downtown Halifax for
the Parade of Lights, presented by Eastlink and Downtown Halifax
Business Commission, on Saturday, November 16, beginning at 6:00 pm.

The Parade begins on Upper Water Street at Cornwallis Street, continues
over the Barrington Street overpass onto Barrington Street and turns right onto
Spring Garden Road. It then turns left on South Park and then right onto
University Avenue, concluding at the corner of University Avenue and Robie
Street.

The Parade is a community event, which also serves as an integral fundraiser
for local, non-profit organizations. Spectators of all ages line the streets
donating new, unwrapped toys and non-perishable food items along the Parade
route. The Chronicle Herald and Scotiabank will be selling blinking, red noses
at the parade in support of the National Sport Trust Fund, which helps the
development of amateur Nova Scotia athletes compete nationally. Canada Post
will also be picking up letters to Santa.

So bundle up and make your way to downtown early on Saturday to get a
great seat to watch all the magic unfold. VISIT THE OFFICIAL 18TH
ANNUAL CHRONICLE HERALD HOLIDAY PARADE OF LIGHTS WEBSITE FOR ALL
THE DETAILS.
